Judge Opposes Maryland Pier Gambling on Virginia Beach
A retired judge, former Virginia House member, told Govs. Stanley and McKeldin that wide local opposition exists to Maryland licensing gambling and liquor piers at Colonial Beach and nearby areas. Heflin asserted the Chamber of Commerce letter endorsing the Maryland piers was not an official action and criticized any political motive. Meanwhile, Charles E. Ricketts faced assault charges related to a shotgun incident in Rockville with bond set at 10,000 dollars and a scheduled preliminary hearing in August.
